Weekdays appearing as numbers and odd date format

Hi
I really hope someone can help me. Weekdays have started showing as numbers, e.g. "Wednesday" shows as "4", "Sunday" as a "1". This happens in the menu bar, iCal, EyeTV. In fact, anywhere that is supposed to show a weekday. Also, the date format has changed from "12 December 2007" to "2007 12 12".
My partner has an account and her weekdays and date format are normal. I've also set up a new account and it is also normal.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how I can fix it?
Many thanks

Go to the International pane in System Preferences. Click on the "Formats" tab. Make sure the date formats are correct there.

  • Consecutive Numbering and Current Date

    I am trying to create an invoice (that I will save as a template) and I want the invoice number to change, each time I open the invoice template, to the next consecutive number. I also want the date to stay current each time I open the document. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply. I am neither familiar with computer lingo nor am I very computer savvy, so a lot of that is really confusing to me. Is there a plain English "numbers for dummies" way of going about it? Thanks again.
    Hi MATOS,
    Fortunately you don't need to understand most of it in order to use it.
    As a user, you need only understand:
    Open the Script Editor.
    Copy Yvan's script from his post, then Paste it into the Script editor.
    Then read this part (assuming your English is stronger than your French). The numbers labeling the sections are used in my notes below:
    Section 1A:
    +++++++
    Save this script as Script : invoiceWithDateAndnumber.scpt
    Move the newly created file into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
    Note 1
    Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
    Section 1B
    menu Scripts > Numbers > invoiceWithDateAndnumber
    will create a new document from the defined user template
    and insert a new number and the current date as a fixed value.
    Section 2
    --=====
    The Finder's Help explains:
    To make the Script menu appear:
    Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
    Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
    Section 3

    Section 4
    --=====
    property theApp : "Numbers"
    Adapter ces six “properties” à vos besoins
    Adjust these six properties to fit your needs
    property myTemplate : "my_invoice.nmbtemplate"

    property mySheet : "1"
    property myTable : "1"
    property cell4number : "A1"
    property cell4date : "A2"
    --=====
    Section 4 is the beginning of the actual script. You will need to edit the properties list to fit your own situation.
    The first property "theApp" names the application (Numbers) that the script affects. Do not change this.
    Below the line "Adjust these...":
    myTemplate:
    Change "my_invoice.nmbtemplate" to match the name of your Invoice template, and add the ".nmbtemplate" extension to the name.
    fichierNum:
    This is the name of the file that keeps the most recent invoice number. The script will create the file the first time the script is run, and will update it each tome after that. No change is needed in this line.
    mySheet:
    myTable:
    These are currently set to use the first (ie. top of the list) Table on the first sheet of your invoice template. If the template contains only one table (and only one sheet) no change is needed. If your template contains more than one table, you may need adjust the number(s).
    cell4number:
    This is the cell in which the Invoice Number will be placed. Change "A1" to the actual location of the Invoice Number on your template. Remember to enclose the location in double quotes.
    cell4date:
    This is the cell in which the current date will be placed. Change "A2" to the actual location of the Invoice Date on your template. Remember to enclose the location in double quotes.
    In Section 1, Note 1 tells you you will need a specific set of folders in which to place the script.
    In the Finder, open a new window and click on yourAccount (the house icon with your username below it), then on Library, then on Scripts, then on Applications, then on Numbers.
    Each time you click, it opens the folder and shows (in the next column, if your Finder window is in Column view) the items in that folder. If any of the names on this path are missing, you will need to go to the File menu, choose New Folder, and give the new folder the name shown above. (If you have not yet added any scripts, you will likely need to create at least the Applications and Numbers folders.)
    Section 1A tells what to do with the script after you have edited it: Save it in the Numbers folder you created above. You can save it to the Desktop, then move it to the correct folder, or you could save it directly to the correct folder. Yvan's name is chosen to tell exactly what the script does.
    Section 1B tells how to call the script (ie. how to get it to do what it's written to do):
    go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose "invoiceWithDateAndnumber",
    then describes what the script does.
    The Scripts menu is likely not yet in your Menu bar, so Section 2 tells how to get it there. If you, like me, have a crowded Menu bar already, you may also have to remove something else to make room for the Scripts menu.
    Section 3 tells who wrote the script (Yvan) and when he did so.
    Once you've completed those steps (editing properties and saving the script to the correct location), creating a new dated and numbered invoice is a simple matter of choosing this script in the Scripts menu.

  • Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

    DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
    System: AIX 5.3.0.0
    Hello,
    I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
    ...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
    I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
    EXECUTIONDATE1     TIMESTAMP     NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS     "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
    DELDOB          TIMESTAMP     NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS          "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
    The relevant NLS parameters:
    NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
    NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
    NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
    If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
    How can I get both date values to load correctly?
    Thanks!
    Sylvain

    This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

  • Regarding TO_DATE function and Default Date Format DD-MON-YY

    I am using oracle 10.2 version. As far as my knowledge default date format is 'DD-MON-YY'. I want to know that why first query is not giving result.
    SQL> select sysdate from dual
    2 where sysdate = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY');
    no rows selected
    SQL> select sysdate from dual
    2 where to_date(to_char(sysdate),'DD-MON-YY') = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY');
    SYSDATE
    06-JUL-11
    Thanks,
    Rohit

    A date in Oracle always contains hours, minutes and seconds. These values can optionally all evaluate to zeroes, at midnight.
    TO_DATE('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY') means midnight of the sixth of july 2011.
    So
    sysdate = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY') only at midnight of the sixth of july 2011...
    While during the day, after midnight,
    trunc(sysdate) = to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY')and
    sysdate > to_date('06-JUL-11','DD-MON-YY')Max

  • Question about get web service result in actionscript and convert data format

    Hi, All
    I have question about how to get dataset from web services
    and put it in tree structure. I have 2 questions about this:
    1, How can I get data correctly in actionscript?
    I have no problem to get data by
    <mx:ArrayCollection id="acFolder"
    source="{mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(MyGServices.getFolder.lastResult)}"
    />
    And display in datagrid.
    But when I try to use
    public function
    handleFolderContents(event:mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent):void{
    arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
    acData=new ArrayCollection(arData);
    input.text=acData.getItemAt(0).id;
    Seems I can’t get data, it always say:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
    a null object reference.
    2, how to convert data format
    I get data from web service and want to convert it to tree
    structure, as mention below:
    I get:
    <Array>
    <id>111</id>
    <Name>Production1</Name>
    </Array>
    <Array>
    <id>222</id>
    <Name>Production2</Name>
    </Array>
    Convert to:
    <mx:XMLList id="treeData">
    <node>
    <node label="Production1" data="111">
    <node label="Production2" data="222"/>
    </node>
    </node>
    </mx:XMLList>
    Please help me.
    Thanks.

    First, don't specify the package path in the argument
    declaration. Instead import the event object:
    import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
    The docs state this emphatically.
    Second, try "lastResult", in place of "result":
    arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.lastResult); // I am
    not positive about this. I maybe recall reading that result was ok
    for the event object, but maybe not.
    Finally, why do you want to convert the xml? You certainly
    could, but it would be a manual process, recursively reading the
    existing xml nodes and building the new structure, but again, why?
    Just use a labelFunction if necessary to display the nodes as
    you wish.

  • Numbers dont see data format from excel - how to import excel doc and have correct data format?

    Have a problem with excel doc when open in Numbres - all datas are wrong - numbers cant read correctly a excel date. How do I fix it?

    I was hoping this would be one of the bug fixes in the recent update. There was something in there about improved Excel compatibility.  I have yet to have this problem with Excel dates so I cannot test the new version to see if it is any different. What version of Numbers are you using? Did you update to the latest version (3.2)?

  • Opening .xls in Numbers is causing data format issue

    I have an excel spreadsheet (*.xls) downloaded from a database. When I open it in Excel or in OpenOffice it looks fine. But when I open it in Numbers, although I get no warning/error message, it seems unable to read the data properly. It looks like this:
    Basically there is a load of header information and the long line you can see in the last row is the beginning of the data (column headings). Is there any way I work with this file in Numbers or must I do

    I'm not really surprised.
    I knew that some files aren't correctly treated by Numbers.
    I guess that they are files generated by recent versions of XL.
    Don't forget that Numbers was issued in january 2009.
    To get an app aware of recent file formats you will have to wait for the next major iupdate : maybe iWork '12.
    No need to buy M…oSoft Office.
    Download one of its free clones.
    My best choice is libreOffice.
    neoOffice is no longer free.

    Thanks in advance! Kevin

    Hey Aleksandr
    Tenor is a string. The tenor table is used by other reports too and contains tenors in day, month, etc format (e.g. 01-Jan-14, 02-Jan-14, 03-Jan-14, ..., Jan-14, Feb-14, ...).
    This is why I was trying to differentiate the 2 "groups" of tenor using length.
    Something like:
    MEMBER [MEASURES].[MOUT] AS 
    iif(
    isempty([Measures].[VarX]),
    null,
    iif(
    (Len([Tenor].CURRENTMEMBER.NEXTMEMBER.Name) =  
     Len([Tenor].CURRENTMEMBER.Name)
    null,
    SUM ( [Tenor].[all], [Measures].[VarX])))

  • Inserting multiple records in JSP and setting date format

    Hi,
    I'm looking at the possibilities for using JSP's as a web application.
    I've got a few questions about it:
    1) Is it possible to insert multiple records in the detail block of my JSP. Normally when I click the 'insert button', an insert JSP comes up, which is a html form with the possiblity of inserting only one record.
    2) Is it possible to change the format of a date field. Now a date field is displayed as 'YYYY-MM-DD'. My nls_date_format is something else.
    3) I can't get the static combo box working for the class EditCurrentRecord. The normal use combo box is no problem. Probably, I don't have the syntax correct. Could anyone provide an example for this.

    2) Just use the Calendar object. You can format the date any way you want. I am assuming that you are talking about how the date appears after a .toString() call.
    Here is how I do it (this code will probably look very bad I am trying to type into a very small space so bear with me):
    public static String traceDate(java.sql.Timestamp dt)
    try
    if (dt == null)
    return " ";
    else
    Calendar clFmt = Calendar.getInstance();
    clFmt.setTime(dt);
    return
    String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1) + "/" +
    String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)) + "/" +
    String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.YEAR)) + " " +
    String.valueOf( (clFmt.get(Calendar.HOUR) == 0) ? 12 : clFmt.get(Calendar.HOUR) ) + ":" +
    padLt(String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.MINUTE)),2) + ":" +
    padLt(String.valueOf(clFmt.get(Calendar.SECOND)),2) + " " +
    (clFmt.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.AM ? "AM" : "PM");
    catch (Exception e)
    throw new RuntimeException(e.getMessage());
    (padLt is a custom function that just pads 0s to the left of the number)

  • Save and Export Data format issue/question

    Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me with what is probably a super-simple question. I have a group of people that will use some forms. They will all have Acrobat Pro so they can save and update the data in the forms.
    Here's my issue. I've tried binding both a sample XML as well as an XSD with the same results.
    1.) If I save the interactive PDF containing the data connection, users can type the information in the form, but fields that are "info only" and not bound to a particular node go away. The file does generate the correct XML.
    2.) If I delete the data connection (but keep the bindings), all the data stays in the form, but now my XML tags are intermixed with my fields and subforms and the xml looks pretty useless.
    So, here's my question, given that users will use Acro Pro 7, how can I ensure that all data stays in the form on save and writes out xml ignoring fields that are not bound to any nodes in the xml.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello, again!
    Since I apt-getted my debian again to dependencies-death, I decided to give arch a new try.

Well.
    What I really miss is some user-locales-wand. Where does arch read language and locale settings?
    In debian, this stuff was placed in /etc/environment. Does arch behave the same way?
    Since this is fixed on my machine, I feel lucky to have things like feet ore 39°F in the weather report.

    Hello Adlyd,
    SAP Business Objects does not support customizing Infoview, CR Server, or BusinessObjects Enterprise.  I'll post the content of SAP Business Objects Note 1218598 below that speaks to this.  Even if they could help customize CR Server/Enterprise/Infoview there's no way to change the parameter prompting page.  It's a page that is generated at runtime, and it isn't exposed to any of the BusinessObjects SDK.
    If you want to see if SAP Business Objects can help you with the date format that might be possible.  In North America you can call 1-800-877-2340, and select option 4, and then option 1.
